Executive producers Sean Daniel and Jason Brown (of Netflix sci-fi drama The Expanse) said the television series would follow an unconventional family that “comes together to fight for truth in a dangerous world”.

“The characters are original, funny and constantly surprising and we can’t wait to bring them to life at Netflix, the perfect home for innovative storytelling,” they said in a joint statement.

The series will be co-produced by Polish production company Platige Image.

While The Witcher‘s entry into the mainstream arena is undoubtedly due to the success of the games, the books won’t be ignored in this adaptation, according to Baginski and co-executive producer Jarek Sawko.

“There is a moral and intellectual depth in these books which goes beyond genre. It is a story about today and today’s challenges, hidden under a fantasy cover. It is a story about us, about the monster and the hero inside all of our hearts.”
